A very draining 24 hours and pumped up due to FStops blog!!!

We are so happy that Deb, AKA FStop joined us today at the Rez y for our usual Tuesday/Thursday run! I guess I was running faster than usual today due to the stress of the past 24 hours. I got a very disturbing call yesterday about my youngest brother who had taken ill while out of town with some friends in Louisville, KY. He has recently been getting worse from his Parkinson's disease and also has hypertension and diabetes. He was confused and kept falling yesterday morning so they finally had to call an ambulance and take him to the hospital. He has been my Rock of Gibraltor for years and is one of the kindest and sweetest people on earth although not the greatest person to take care of his own health. He was actively hallucinating all yesterday, all night, and still doing so today. I did not know what to do--drive there, stay here, or what. But, thankfully, my nephew drove up there yesterday so I didn't feel so terrible about not being there. All of his tests have come out fine/negative, and they now think that he just needs a drug holiday from his Parkinson's medication to get himself straightened up. Thank the good Lord that it isn't anything worse like a stroke.

Thursday's run, this week will be at 5 AM----ugggghhhhhhh due to Sally's meeting at work that day. Then, we are either running at 530 or 545 am next Tuesday so feel free to come join us. Despite my reputation as a taskmaster/slavedriver about speed and long intervals, everyone can do their own pace as they like!!! And I even try to run back so we can all stay together!
